Answer:

paramagnetic

Explanation:

The complex ion is : [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻

Oxidation state of Cr in [Cr(CN)₆]³⁻ is:

x + (-1)6 = -3

x = +3

CN⁻ is a strong field ligand which can result in  pairing of the electrons.

The electronic configuration of Cr is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d⁵4s¹

The electronic configuration of Cr³⁺ is:

1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶3d³

<u>These 3 electrons will be singly present in the 3 degenerate t₂g orbitals and per Hund's rule, pairing will not occur in the same level energy orbitals. So , no. of unpaired electrons will be 3 and the complex will be paramagnetic.</u>

What is nuclear fission
swat32
Nuclear fission is the process of which a large nucleus splits into two smaller nuclei with the release of energy and neutron. In simpler words, nuclear fission is the process in which a nucleus is split into two smaller fragments or pieces (nuclei) and so energy and neutrons are released. The resulting pieces of this fission process have less combined mass than the original piece (nucleus) and the missing was is converted into nuclear energy.
